The crowd at Disney’s annual D23 Expo in Anaheim, Calif. were in for quite the treat on Saturday, as Angelina Jolie made a surprise visit, all in the name of Maleficent.

The 38-year-old actress’s appearance included a quick chat with the crowd as well as new footage from the film.

“Since I was a little girl, Maleficent was always my favorite,” Jolie said at the event. “I was terrified of her, but I was so drawn to her. I wanted to know more about her, know what she was like and who she was . . . she had this elegance and grace, and yet she was so cruel, just wonderfully and deliciously cruel.” [via Entertainment Weekly]

The Oscar-winning actress also revealed how her daughter Vivienne scored a small role in the live-action film.

“She was the only 4-year-old who wouldn’t scream,” Jolie said, after explaining how other children visiting the set would always “scream and run off” upon seeing her in costume as the villain.
